Problems with connecting to Rockstar Social Club

So, Vodafone Germany is my provider. I can't connect to the Social Club website through my router, it's working through my mobile connection btw. I read on the internet that Vodafone has a problem with the servers of social club. Does anyone have/had the same problem and might have an idea how to fix this? 192.168.0.1

Possibly Vodafone’s content control making a nuisance of itself.  Have you tried changing the default Vodafone DNS server to one of the arguably better public servers?

Popular public DNS servers are (primary / secondary):

  • Google: 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4
  • Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1

Other DNS servers are available and plentiful:

One problem that crops up when using mobile network broadband is CGNAT, and short of using a VPN (which itself may not always work with CGNAT) there is no reliable answer!

 

FYI, just tried connecting to Rockstar Social Club over a VF mobile connection that used CGNAT and couldn't!  *My regular UK VF broadband connects to the service just fine!
